I use either Orange Stripper (eco friendly paint stripper...doesn't kill you with the fumes) or Circa Stripper (strong furniture stripper) or PolyStrippa (spray on foaming paint stripper).

They'll all work, although the orange stripper is slow to act.

Work it into the tough to reach places with a brush (toothbrush if you're going to toss the brush afterwards...brass brush if you're going to rinse and reuse). Brush in hot soapy water to get rid of the stripper and get any oils off of it.

It'll strip it right down to the bare metal...then you can prime and paint.

Anytime I've tried to just remove the orange but not disturb the black underneath...I either don't get all the orange off...or ruin the black underneath....and then end up completely stripping it and repainting anyways.
